Volumnia

"VOLUMNIA" publishing house was founded in Perugia in 1968 by a group of art and literature aficionados, with the purpose of publishing works concerning literature, history and art in relation to Perugia and Umbria.

The first published catalogs included many anastatic sixteenth-century reprints made in Perugia, as well as publications concerning the most significant historical events: Perugia in the Nineteenth century, Medieval architecture, the artistic presence of Raphael in Umbria, urban planning from the Middle Ages to the Modern age, the Gonfaloni of Rinascimento, pottery from Deruta, and Mint and coinage. All topics are covered by distinguished scholars who have given a comprehensive and rigorous, but at the same time exciting, reading.

Many great works of literature were published in the 1980's. In particular, poetry with a series of authors related to the Umbria. Volumnia publishing house has published more than 150 books, most of which have sold out. The geographical horizon increased in the first part of the 21st Century to include important collected works of Irish poets, both in English and Italian, as well as literary criticism published in English or German.

The catalogs of Exhibitions or important artistic Collections soon became the main focus of the publications and are of great interest to the international market. In recent years, despite rapid technological evolution, Volumnia has maintained its production exclusively on paper, using the most up-to-date distribution channels to reach the widest possible audience.
